In our daily work a couple of core concepts guide us. Some of them have been developed by us, others we have experienced as extremely helpful and pragmatic as they effectively support our clients in achieving their objectives.
KEY-9® provides a framework and structured approach to analyze and visualize the coverage of components relevant for project work and change in organizations. We use this information as a starting point for targeted interventions to design and implement improvements towards a (more) "project-friendly environment" which provides best possible pre-requisites for an effective and sustainable implementation of corporate strategy.
Goal Directed Project Management (GDPM) is a result oriented project management approach which we have utilized for a long time. GDPM fascinates us and our clients through its simplicity and usefulness. GDPM is compatible with almost all delivery models, easy to implement and anchors a common understanding of the to be accomplished mission in the project team.
Behavioral Change Management as a commonly accepted concept has been developed to help organizations to actively dealing with commonly seen patterns in a structured and holistic manner. Influencing key individuals of an organization to join the “commitment track” is the key measure to ensure that energy and funds are invested wisely.
When supporting organizations that want to change, november applies a set of proven techniques such as:
- Change readiness assessment to check the position of individuals and the situation of organizational units
- Identify and manage stakeholders appropriately
- Designing communication concepts to appropriately inform on the different levels as well as mechanism to identify how effective the communication actually works
- Using reference groups to measure "change status" together with individuals who are not directly involved in designing the change process
- Coaching of individuals and teams to balance new challenges with old traditions and develop a way forward
- Conducting change management workshops to mobilize teams to accept the challenges of change.
Systems Thinking is a concept which makes cross links and complexity of our world visible. "Nothing is isolated - everything influences and is being influenced" is an important background for our daily work. On one hand the consequence is that when planning interventions we have to prepare also for surprising effects - on the other hand it means also that influencing a small subsystem can lead to intended changes in the whole.
